Character Analysis: The Breakfast Club
Growing up, there was a fascination about finding the perfect soul mate.

They all play out various situations that can be true to different people, but slowly I believe we all come to a realization that in reality, good relationships are hard to come across by, and even when

    In the book "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, one of the character's Jonny killed a soca. He ends up running away in the end. That was his first mistake. You don't run away/ flee the town if you know you didn't do anything wrong. Self-defense means that there was nothing he could have done to prevent killing Bob (the soca).

    The movie that this book no doubt reminds me of is the Breakfast Club. In each there are five completely different characters who get paired up unknowingly. In the movie the characters meet in detention. In the book the characters are paired up during freshman orientation. Some of the characters even bear resemblance to characters in the movie. Whitney strongly reminds me of the pampered Claire, while Jake reminds me of the jock Andrew. Mia bears slight resemblance to the outcast Allison, and Gregor reminds me of the nerd Brian.
